Malaysia needs Filipino Workers

Malaysia is a favorable destination for Filipinos aiming to work abroad due to its proximity. Currently, some skilled and professional Filipino workers are needed in Malaysia because of the country’s shortage with skilled manpower.

English teachers and Information and Technology (IT) professionals is the country’s most in-demand jobs. Aside from that, engineers, and skilled workers such as welder and factory workers are also needed in Malaysia.

There is also a need for service workers like waiter/waitress, janitor/janitress, attendants and housemaids. According to Philippine Overseas Employment Administration’s statistics there are about 6,000 new hires and rehires overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), deployed in Malaysia in 2005.
